Wiggle and CRC always have a decent selection of reasonably priced gear.

This and this are crap, FWIW. The jacket got ripped the first time I used it.

:eek: OMG, I got that jacket too and it ripped the first time I used it as well!!!
Where abouts did yours fail? Mine gave way on the cuff, just a tear which started from under the elastic and ripped the material. I contacted them and got a replacement thank god (which I am yet to use). FWIW, they blamed it on:

I think there was maybe just a lapse in concentration when the machinist was sewing the arm up. And she didn’t get enough fabric … hopefully it will be a isolated problem.

Crazy stuff!

Any of you guys have any other PBK kit? I was looking at some of the arm warmers and overshoes thinking they looked nice (made by DeFeet I think?) but don't want them to fall apart.

The DeFeet stuff is quality in my experience. I have a number of different arm warmers, over shoes, gloves and socks from them.

I have the PBK Knee warmers and I find them great...made by bicycle line actually. Also, I have the PBK Skinsuit which was great value for money, and also seems to be good quality...I wouldn't say all their gear is crap. Reasonably priced for sure (Oh, and a PBK vest too but is basically just Craft with a little PBK logo added on!)

Yes, same place on mine. Thanks, I'll contact them about a replacement.

I have to say that Scott branded gear is the best quality I've come across, some good sellers on ebay.co.uk, keep an eye out for the deals!
